Former host of “The View” Meghan McCain claims her former colleagues are “obsessing” over her, and she’s threatened them with a slander lawsuit.
McCain took to X, formerly Twitter, to complain about the women talking about her during a discussion about President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.
The panel was discussing the younger Biden’s perceived “influence peddling” by using his last name in Washington, D.C., to his benefit, and despite no one mentioning McCain by name, she assumed host Ana Navarro was referencing her when she noted a former co-host often peddled their last name on the show. It’s worth noting that former co-host Abby Huntsman’s father was the 16th governor of Utah.
McCain — who is the daughter of the late Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona — often brought up her father during her time on “The View.” She began her media career working as a blogger on her father’s failed presidential campaign and appeared on the ABC talk show from 2017 until 2021.
During the episode that aired on Dec. 14, Navarro said, “Look, did Hunter Biden influence-peddle on his last name? Yes, he did. So did half of Washington. People sitting at this table did it!”
After her co-hosts asked her to elaborate and denied doing so themselves, Navarro confirmed that it wasn’t a current co-host she was referring to, but she never mentioned McCain by name. Co-host Sara Haines chimed in and joked, “Oh my god! Do I have a claim to fame that I am not using?”
McCain took issue with the discussion and shared her thoughts on X the same day. She accused the women of slandering her “on an almost weekly basis” while advising them to “move on.”
